The Gaylords opened B. Boomers Health Food Store Inc. on July 2 in West Jacksonville in Venetia Plaza, 5393 Roosevelt Blvd., Suite 8. They incorporated the business in May.
Myra Gaylord said B. Boomers Health offers vitamins, supplements, some health foods, sports-related items and nutritional drinks, facial and personal products and more.
She said the business is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, although that can be adjusted based on customer demand.
"We will be willing to come in early and stay later if that is what our customers demand," she said.
Their interest in health supplements dates back to her former job with a health-foods distributor in 1980-81.
"I have always been one to take vitamins and supplements and eat right," she said.
The biggest motivation comes from her care of older family members and reviewing their medications.
"They didn't know what they were taking," she said. "There are side effects and I started researching and tried to find them better things to heal them versus masking the problems, and that is probably what got the ball started," she said.
Gaylord is quick to explain she is not saying all prescription medications are bad, but that some mask conditions rather than provide healing.
Gaylord said the potential customer base is growing.
"There are a lot of us baby boomers out there. If we are not careful, we will be in the same situation our parents are in," she said.
